selectedIndex

[mili]

Hi,

If a select box contains only one value, I want that vale to be selected in the dropdown box, else I want to default the message "select from choices".How can I do this?

<select>
<option>Select from choices</option>
<option>London</option>
</select>

Thanks,
M

<select selectedindex=1 id="sel1">
<option>Select from choices</option>
<option>London</option>
</select>
